Well, the original question was "Which team went away with a bigger bang than Quantic?", and Slayers came to mind. Depends on what you call a big bang, but the one Slayers made was pretty damn big I'd say. | ||

I should have used another term than "bigger bang", maybe "bigger mess". | ||

That this team has investors rather than sponsors behjnd it atm is not shady in and of itself; it just means some people are betting money they can make it work. If their bet fails, they didn't do the community wrong; in fact we should thank them. If anyone gets mad if their bet fails, the only issue is that you had false hopes as to the viability of SC2 business ventures. Considering the long term trend of sc2 viewership numbers, we should be kissing the feet of anyone willing to invest money and try to make their business sustainable. And having a couple Joe Schmoes on the forum grill them about their finances is not going to accomplish anything productive other than hopefully harden them to the ungrateful nature of the community. I agree its a gamble to invest into an SC2 team, and I don't want to see them fail. Far from it, I want to see every team achieve success, but Invasion's success is not a blind gamble dependant on random factors. Their success is dependant on themselves. Did they sign the right players? Is the team efficiently managed? Is the expectations of the board members reasonable? And if they failed, I would show appreciation only if they tried earnestly, honestly, and with transparency. If they failed because they followed in the footsteps of Quantic and Alloy, well fuck them. But I will not be "kissing the feet of anyone willing to invest money". Just because an organization throws some money at a few players, we need to grovel at them and thank them like beggars? Are we, the audience, that desperate to resort to grovelling appreciation? Fuck no! Sure the viewership is dismal, but that is no excuse to debase oneself. And yes, giving them the 20 questions is counter-productive, but is asking a few questions about the company unreasonable? All I asked was to give us an introduction to who they are. I don't want to know their finances; see their ledgers; or speak to their accountants. I don't want to know who are the board members. As well, perhaps before they forayed into the wild west SC2 esports scene, they should have done some research as to the state of this niche industry. I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but I will not give them my trust. I will remain jaded and suspicious, until Invasion can prove otherwise. edit: Will this thread, and the community's approach to new teams, harden Invasion? I don't care. If they can't take our questions, they don't deserve our attention. They should use this thread as feedback on how to approach the community, not as an indication of how we are ungrateful. And please don't use the word "ungrateful". I am full of grate for people like TotalBiscuit and Alexander Garfield. These are the guys that know how to run a team and company. | ||
